Flight box or Stratux wanted

[Chris Strube]

My Flightbox ADS-B receiver, which I built from a kit in 2007, has finally died.  Does anyone have a Flightbox or Stratux for sale, maybe from an upgrade?

Like died how?    You might be able to get a new micro card with loaded software on it for the raspberry pi

You can get a complete Stratux on Amazon, or the components to make/repair one to your liking.

I just bought a Sentry Mini for $400. It's TINY and I mean TINY. No antennas, and gets a signal for both GPS and ADS-B anywhere in the cockpit. It's about as thick as an iPhone and about 1/2 the size. I was looking at more mature option for "in" but this is a no brainer. I had "real" ADS-B in on my last aircraft and I don't see any difference using this option. There's clunkier options available for less $, but I wanted something that was not a distraction.

For Yetti...it was left on the glareshield in the hottest part of summer, and its bulging all around.  I can't get the screws out to see if any parts are salvageable.  None of the lights go on when power is connected.  I'd say it's perished, gone to meet its maker.

 

For EricJ...Amazon won't send to my address, even though it's a physical address, and not a PO Box.

 

For bigmo...I'll check out the Sentry Mini, thanks.

I believe that is just a raspberry PI in a 3D printed box.   Dremel tool is your friend.   Then just follow the steps to redo the micro SD card.   https://stratux.me/

Just in case - are you using ForeFlight? It's the only app a Sentry will work with.

Crewdog Electronics sells complete stratux as has been said. Mainly through Amazon but you might contact them to see if they can ship separate for you.

Yes, I kind of forget not everyone is on FF. I tried Garmin Pilot after I got a free year and just couldn't make the switch. Mine is free through work, so kind of a no brainer for me. But, yes, the Sentry is clearly designed to be fully integrated with FF.
